Squirrel, Chipmunk & Pica

We can’t forget this tiny creatures in the mountains that are forever scurrying around underfoot and sometimes begging for food. They are so cute.

2013 – Golden Manteled Ground Squirrel – This is a very common critter in the mountains is often mistaken for a chipmunk. The difference being that squirreIs have a white circle around their eyes and chipmunks have strips from their eyes. I found this photo very comical so had to share it.
